2008-04-23-Return of the Cook

Hi Misolites, 2008-04-23

Last night saw the return of the ex-chef since the dreadful day of the “BAR FIRE” . not to cook for the people of Mi-sol but to be cooked for by an adopted Misolite at a terrace party.

As there are no rumours to report (since I started the blog, no-one tells me anything)

I have decided to give you all a lesson on making cheese sauce. (I found that I was sadly lacking in the culinary and cutlery department by the adopted Misolite) ......to continue

When you have chucked all your ingredients into the saucepan, and are bringing it to the boil, stirring is NOT enough. You must be in possession of a WHISK. Not any old whisk, not one with a handle that you turn, not an electric whisk, but a hand whisk, this apparently stops the DREADED lumps from appearing………………..So, Misolites, abandon your spoons with gusto (think of IKEA and chintz) nip up to the Todo shop and get yourself a WHISK.

At the terrace party, my husband had to use his skills as a herbal doctor????...~Two of the guest Misolites were suffering with sunburn (both women I might add) What did he do??
Not for his own satisfaction, but for purely medical reasons, aloe vera was cut from the garden and liberally applied to the backs and FRONTS of both women. My husband quite enjoyed it, not so sure about the ladies. Another guest Misolite with a burnt hand was totally ignored, was this because it was a hand or had selective hearing kicked in…who knows.

Spanish Lessons tomorrow….need my beauty sleep…..hasta la vista
